EVEREST GROUP, LTD. (EG)

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview.

Everest is a global underwriting leader providing best-in-class property, casualty and specialty reinsurance and insurance solutions. As part of the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index, we are a leading financial services institution focused on value creation for our shareholders while diversifying our portfolio and geographic presence. Through our direct and indirect subsidiaries operating in the U.S. and internationally, we serve a diverse group of clients worldwide, providing what we believe are extensive product and distribution capabilities, a strong balance sheet, an innovative culture and access to world-class talent.

As a global leader with a 50-year track record, we are a preferred reinsurance partner in the markets we serve, and with our growing Global Wholesale & Specialty insurance franchise we strive to deliver consistent value to all our stakeholders.

Effective January 1, 2026, we changed our reportable segments, previously reported as Reinsurance and Insurance, to Reinsurance Treaty, Global Wholesale & Specialty, and Legacy, following the sale of the renewal rights for the Commercial Retail Insurance business in the majority of our geographic regions to American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”). This reflects our sharpened focus on our global Reinsurance Treaty business as well as the Global Wholesale & Specialty business, and positions the Company for strong performance across market cycles. Accordingly, we revised the presentation of reportable segments to appropriately reflect how the business segments are now managed by recasting specific sections of its 2025 10-K, filed with the SEC on a Current Report Form 8-K dated June 3, 2026.

Our Legacy segment primarily includes the divested and held-for-sale parts of the commercial retail insurance business and the results of our sports and leisure business that was sold in October 2024 consisting of policies written prior to the sale and certain new and renewed policies written on the Company’s paper post sale. Additionally, this segment includes run-off asbestos and environmental (“A&E”) exposures, certain discontinued insurance programs, and certain discontinued insurance and reinsurance coverage classes. The Legacy segment does not generally sell insurance or reinsurance products but is responsible for the management of existing policies and settlement of related losses. Certain commercial retail insurance policies will be renewed on the Company’s paper for a finite period in 2026. As a result, the Company has three reportable segments, however, only two that actively sell products, Reinsurance Treaty and Global Wholesale & Specialty, consistent with how the on-going business is managed. These segment presentation changes have been reflected retrospectively. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of segment results.

The following is a discussion of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and capital resources for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes, under Part I - Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

All comparisons in this discussion are to the corresponding prior year unless otherwise indicated.

Bermuda Monetary Authority Group Supervision

As further detailed below in the section titled “Item 1A. – Risk Factors”, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Bermuda Monetary Authority (the “BMA”) informed the Company of its formal determination that it is appropriate for the BMA to become Group Supervisor for the Company and specified that Everest Reinsurance (Bermuda) Ltd. (“Bermuda Re”) would become the “designated insurer” responsible for group-level regulatory compliance for Everest, pursuant to Section 27B of the Insurance Act 1978 (the “Act”). The Company and Bermuda Re are discussing with the BMA the applicable requirements of group supervision during a twelve-month transition period that ends in January 2027, with the BMA authorized to grant extensions of up to an additional twelve months upon application. During this period, the Company is analyzing compliance requirements and potential focus areas for enhancement and taking steps necessary to comply with the BMA’s group supervision requirements. Under the Act, the Company will be subject to group-level solvency and capital requirements, consolidated financial reporting and auditing obligations, recovery planning requirements and prior notification or approval requirements for certain material changes within the group. As Group Supervisor, the BMA will also chair a Supervisory College, coordinating with other regulators that supervise Everest’s licensed entities in other jurisdictions. Everest’s continuing assessment of and compliance with BMA group supervision will require the Company to allocate considerable time and resources that could impact the operations of our

insurance and/or non-insurance subsidiaries or may result in increased costs or affect our financial condition. Group supervision could also affect our prescribed capital requirements, the terms of and structure of our regulatory capital, intercompany capital transactions, borrowing requirements and terms, and ratings and may significantly increase our cost of regulatory compliance.

Bermuda-based Reinsurance Sidecar

On June 17, 2026, the Company announced that it has partnered with Stone Point Insurance Solutions (“Stone Point”) to sponsor the launch of Annapurna Re Ltd.

The transaction is anticipated to close in the second half of 2026, pursuant to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.

to a gross limit of $1.2 billion. Certain liabilities are excluded from the subject business, including among others those related to the Asbestos and Environmental (“A&E”) reserves included in the Legacy segment. At the time the Company entered into the agreement, the carried reserves held for the Subject Business, pursuant to the Reinsurance Agreements, were $5.4 billion.

The adverse development cover (“ADC”) is composed of three layers. The first layer is an “in the money” layer whereby the ADC attachment point was $1,250 million below the Company’s North American Insurance and Legacy segment liability subject reserves of $5.4 billion held as of September 30, 2025. The second layer is $700 million in excess of the $5.4 billion. The Company transferred $1,250 million of in-the-money reserves in consideration for the first two layers upon closing of the transaction. The third layer is $500 million, for which the Company paid approximately $122 million of consideration upon closing of the transaction. The Company has a co-participation of $100 million in each of the second and third layers. For more details, see Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 27, 2025 and the adverse development reinsurance agreements attached thereto and incorporated by reference in Exhibits 10.57 and 10.58 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The total covered losses ceded to State National Reinsurer as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $1.26 billion and $1.25 billion, respectively. The aggregated unexpired limit for State National Reinsurer as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $592 million and $597 million, respectively.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Overview.

Everest is a global underwriting leader providing best-in-class property, casualty and specialty reinsurance and insurance solutions. As part of the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index, we are a leading financial services institution focused on value creation for our shareholders while diversifying our portfolio and geographic presence. Through our direct and indirect subsidiaries operating in the U.S. and internationally, we serve a diverse group of clients worldwide, providing what we believe are extensive product and distribution capabilities, a strong balance sheet, an innovative culture and access to world-class talent.

During 2024, we formed a new “Other” segment, primarily comprised of the results of our sports and leisure business sold in October 2024, consisting of policies written prior to the sale and polices renewed and certain new business written on the Company’s paper post-sale. It also includes run-off asbestos and environmental (“A&E”) exposures, certain discontinued insurance programs primarily written prior to 2012 and certain discontinued insurance and reinsurance coverage classes. The Other segment does not generally sell insurance or reinsurance products but is responsible for the management of existing policies and settlement of related losses. These segment presentation changes have been reflected retrospectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has two reportable segments consistent with how the business is managed. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of segment results.

Our net income of $1.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025 is inclusive of unfavorable development of prior-year loss reserves of $657 million. Our net income of $1.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024 is inclusive of unfavorable development of prior-year loss reserves of $1.5 billion. We have significantly fortified our U.S. casualty reserves, while taking aggressive underwriting action in certain classes exposed to social inflation, bolstering talent and investing in our platform as we head into 2026. In addition, we have entered into an adverse development reinsurance agreement reinsuring potential adverse loss development for accident years 2024 and prior arising out of North American liabilities within our Insurance and Other Segments and sold the renewal rights to certain lines of commercial retail insurance business. Refer to management’s discussion of consolidated and segment results below.

The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and capital resources for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes, under ITEM 8 of this Form 10-K. Comparisons between 2024 and 2023 have been omitted from this Form 10-K but can be found in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Sale of Certain Commercial Retail Insurance Renewal Rights

On October 26, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) to sell the renewal rights for certain lines of commercial retail insurance business written by the Company in the U.S., U.K. and Asia Pacific, for an aggregate purchase price of $252 million. AIG paid the Company $30 million for originating and structuring the transaction.

In addition, on October 26, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with AIG to sell the renewal rights for certain lines of commercial retail insurance business written by the Company in certain countries in the European Union, for an aggregate purchase price of $49 million.

Under the agreements, AIG agreed to pay the Company a total of $10 million per month for nine months starting January 1, 2026 for specified transition services. For more details, see Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 28, 2025 and the Master Transaction Agreements incorporated by reference in Exhibit 10.59.

These transactions sharpen the Company’s focus on its core global reinsurance business as well as its global wholesale and specialty insurance businesses. The renewal rights of these businesses total an estimated $2 billion of aggregate gross premiums written.

Financial Summary.

We monitor and evaluate our overall performance based upon financial results. The following table displays a summary of the consolidated net income (loss), ratios and shareholders’ equity for the periods indicated:

(NM - not meaningful)

(Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.)

Revenues.

Premiums. Gross written premiums decreased by 2.9% to $17.7 billion in 2025, compared to $18.2 billion in 2024, reflecting a $288 million, or 5.7% decrease in our insurance business, a $122 million, or 57.3% decrease in business within the Other segment and a $116 million, or 0.9% decrease in our reinsurance business. The decrease in insurance premiums reflects portfolio actions taken in casualty lines of business partially offset by growth in accident and health and other specialty lines. Gross written premiums within Other decreased by $122 million as this segment generally represents lines of business that have been discontinued. The decrease in reinsurance premiums was primarily due to North America casualty pro rata and casualty excess of loss lines of business, partially offset by an increase in the property and financial lines of business.

Net written premiums decreased by 1.9% to $15.5 billion in 2025, compared to $15.8 billion in 2024, primarily driven by overall mix of business.

Premiums earned increased by 2.5% to $15.6 billion in 2025, compared to $15.2 billion in 2024. The change in premiums earned relative to net written premiums was primarily the result of timing as the higher base premium written in 2024 is being earned through the 2025 period; premiums are earned ratably over the coverage period whereas written premiums are generally recorded at the initiation of the coverage period.

Other Income (Expense). We recorded other expense of $45 million and other income of $121 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change was primarily the result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, in particular, the movement in th
